Jose Mourinho has DROPPED Adriano for Inter Milan's clash with Fiorentina. Adriano has undone much of this term's good work by turning up to training in poor condition on Monday and arriving late this morning.

As expected, no-nonsense tactician Mourinho has axed the Brazilian hitman from his squad for tomorrow's trip to Florence.

"Adriano trained from nine to 10 and I don't want to comment any further," the Special One said. "I don't let my children do whatever they want and so why should I let my players get away with anything?

"That's the way I am and I won't change. The players know that - someone forgot that but it isn't a problem.

"We have a relationship of empathy, which means honesty and sincerity and not always kisses."
